East Anglian Gumball Rally 2010 Anybody Interested???
Discussion
Right folkies, just trying to gauge interest here for 
May 2010...Looking like the weekend of 21st & 22nd May (sorry it is going to be difficult to please everyone - but these are looking about the best dates with the response so far...) What we are proposing is; Set up some kind of "East Anglian Gumball Rally" theme to take place over one day on a specified weekend and hopefully raise money for a local children's hospice... We plan to include a fun packed weekend of the following;
1. Treasure hunt/rally (Saturday daytime) - All go home Sunday at your own leisure.
2. 2 nights accommodation, Friday night B&B (discounted menu for Friday night), Saturday night B&B which will include hotel leisure facilities (gym, steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi and in door heated swimming pool) plus secure (CCTV) free car parking.
3. Children 13 and under stay and eat free when sharing room with parents/adults.
4. 20% discount on hotel bar prices.
5. Buffet/disco Saturday night.
6. Raffle - Dip your hand in your pockets on the night (prizes hopefully donated by local businesses)
7. Award ceremony for car entries/rally antics.
8. Possible guest speaker from the BTCC or WTCC (TBC).
9. Possible press coverage (for the right reasons
).
"As a thought? It would be a good opportunity for the lads and ladies to dress smartly for the evening occasion and make this a Dinner Jacket and ball gown/cocktail dresses affair - guys wear
matching the colour of your Ro or R8 (wear the colour of your Ro via your dickie bow, couldn't think of 1 for the R8's 
)? As we know, some of the folks out there aren't into DJ's but for those who are how about it??? Though it wouldn't be a compulsory dress code but it could be a spot of fun "
Once again, we are looking for confirmative interest before S
T loads of organising into this event, so this happening will be down to you guys. Once we know rough numbers on whether its a goer or not we will then start arrangements and will be able to come back with a price and confirmed defo dates etc (At the moment its looking like approximatley £70 per person based on 2 people sharing for the 2 night stay, which will include all of the above points)... 
1: Rocklandboy & Girl
2: 007 VXR and Mrs 007 VXR + Master 003.5
3: Trampy
4: Bonnie & Clyde (Mel we may need your help on this one - admin work 4 ya)
5: After Shock
6: Browningham
7: Rammon & Mrs Rammon
8: S WO2TEC & Mrs S WO2TEC
9: Sneakygloworm & Mrs Worm
10: Happy Harry and Mrs Happy Harry
11: Tempy and Mrs Tempy
12: Snowwolf and Mrs Snowwolf
13: Crisisjez
14: Tattooboy and Mrs Tattooboy
15: Donk R8 and Mrs Donk R8
16: Zym and Mrs Zym
17: North of Watford and Mrs North of Watford.
18. ARAF and Mrs ARAF
19: Teresa and Malc (plus 1)
Note: Closer the time we will need to be accurate with numbers. Car numbers will have an impact on what needs arranging with the MSA (Motor Sports Association). To keep this legit we will have to follow guidelines in place - Where a set route on public highways with use of motor vehicles will require authorisation through the CAO unless there are less than 13 cars competing - If numbers of cars exceed the maximum allowed limit then registration will be required - We will arrange all the necessary in the New Year and keep you guys posted if anything is required.
Again, as we are hoping to raise money for a charity, it is best to keep this legal and not to mention if we want to get some kind of media coverage but for the right reasons...
